THESIS: While Hinduism and Confucianism have similar philosophical beliefs, social order, and their overall view of life, Hinduism achieved this through the Caste System and Confucianism attained this through Meritocracy.
Confucianism:
Political and Social philosophy, not a religion
Family Based (patriarchal: males have higher status)
Others before you
Peace (non-agressive fighting)
Junzi - superior individuals that looked over public affairs but would not allow personal influence
Ren, Li, Xiao (confucian values)
Someone is always ranked higher
Ren - Respectful and loyal
Li - Treat all humans with courtesy and more respect to elders
Both Hinduism and Confucianism look into life's meaning and the actions of the people within a society as well as the social structure. Both philosophical systems deal with the aspect of a supreme being and a similar social hierarchy. Both Hinduism and Confucianism look to bettering the lives of the people within them. They look for the common good that will help enforce peace and brotherhood. Both of these belief systems go on a basis of making the people act accordingly helping to run government and set a stable mindset for its people. Both had strict policies of education and life and their social standing. Hinduism was based on it's caste system and hereditary in which the only way to better one's social position is to die with good karma. Confucianism's social hierarchy was based on the educational system and work ethic when it comes to determining a person's positon.
